Corcovado’s 127,000 acres of lush primary rainforest protect an extraordinary array of wildlife. Central America’s largest population of scarlet macaws makes its home here, among some 400 other bird species; so do 100-odd dazzling varieties of reptile—including red-eye frogs, glass frogs (which have transparent skin), and crayon-colored poison arrow frogs. And resident mammals include tapirs, squirrel monkeys, and jaguars (paw prints are usually seen even when the big cats aren’t).
